We report observations of radial and latitudinal gradients of Ulysses plasma parameters. The solar wind velocity increased rapidly with latitude from 0° to 35°, then remained approximately constant at higher latitudes. Solar wind density decreased rapidly from 0° to 35° of latitude, and also was approximately constant beyond that latitude. The mass flux similarly decreased away from the equator (but less than the density), whereas the momentum flux was relatively constant. The radial gradient of the entropy at high latitude indicated a value for the polytrope index of about 1.72 (close to adiabatic); the in-ecliptic estimates of radial gradients for temperature and entropy may be biased by temporal variation. A striking increase in the alpha particle-proton velocity difference with latitude is found. 相似文献

The Genesis Ion Monitor (GIM) and the Genesis Electron Monitor (GEM) provide 3-dimensional plasma measurements of the solar
wind for the Genesis mission. These measurements are used onboard to determine the type of plasma that is flowing past the
spacecraft and to configure the solar wind sample collection subsystems in real-time. Both GIM and GEM employ spherical-section
electrostatic analyzers followed by channel electron multiplier (CEM) arrays for detection and angle and energy/charge analysis
of incident ions and electrons. GIM is of a new design specific to Genesis mission requirements whereas the GEM sensor is
an almost exact copy of the plasma electron sensors currently flying on the ACE and Ulysses spacecraft, albeit with new electronics
and programming. Ions are detected at forty log-spaced energy levels between ∼ 1 eV and 14 keV by eight CEM detectors, while
electrons with energies between ∼ 1 eV and 1.4 keV are measured at twenty log-spaced energy levels using seven CEMs. The spin
of the spacecraft is used to sweep the fan-shaped fields-of-view of both instruments across all areas of the sky of interest,
with ion measurements being taken forty times per spin and samples of the electron population being taken twenty four times
per spin. Complete ion and electron energy spectra are measured every ∼ 2.5 min (four spins of the spacecraft) with adequate
energy and angular resolution to determine fully 3-dimensional ion and electron distribution functions. The GIM and GEM plasma
measurements are principally used to enable the operational solar wind sample collection goals of the Genesis mission but
they also provide a potentially very useful data set for studies of solar wind phenomena, especially if combined with other
solar wind data sets from ACE, WIND, SOHO and Ulysses for multi-spacecraft investigations.

Ulysses measurements of the solar wind electron heat flux as a function of heliographic latitude are presented. The latitudinal in the electron heat flux presented have been normalized by the radial gradient in the electron heat flux obtained during the in-ecliptic phase of the Ulysses mission (qe R–3.0). We find no significant variation in electron heat flux with latitude. 相似文献

The early ISEE orbits provided the opportunity to study the magnetopause and its environs only a few Earth radii above the subsolar point. Measurements of complete two-dimensional ion and electron distributions every 3 or 12 s, and of three-dimensional distributions every 12 or 48 s by the LASL/MPI instrumentation on both spacecraft allow a detailed study of the plasma properties with unprecedented temporal resolution. This paper presents observations obtained during four successive inbound orbits in November 1977, containing a total of 9 magnetopause crossings, which occurred under widely differing orientations of the external magnetic field. The main findings are: (1) The magnetosheath flow near the magnetopause is characterized by large fluctuations, which often appear to be temporal in nature. (2) Between 0.1 and 0.3R
E outside the magnetopause, the plasma density and pressure often start to gradually decrease as the magnetopause is approached, in conjunction with an increase in magnetic field strength. These observations are in accordance with the formation of a depletion layer due to the compression of magnetic flux tubes. (3) In cases where the magnetopause can be well resolved, it exhibits fluctuations in density, and especially pressure and bulk velocity around average magnetosheath values. The pressure fluctuations are anticorrelated with simultaneous magnetic field pressure changes. (4) In ope case the magnetopause is characterized by substantially displaced electron and proton boundaries and a proton flow direction change from upwards along the magnetopause to a direction tranverse to the geomagnetic field. These features are in agreement with a model of the magnetopause described by Parker. (5) The character of the magnetopause sometimes varies strongly between ISEE-1 and -2 crossings which occur 1 min apart. At times this is clearly the result of highly non-uniform motions. There are also cases where there is very good agreement between the structures observed by the two satellites. (6) In three of the nine crossings no boundary layer was present adjacent to the magnetopause. More remarkably, two of the three occurred while the external magnetic field had a substantial southward component, in clear contradiction to expectations from current reconnection models. (7) The only thick (low-latitude) boundary layer (LLBL) observed was characterized by sharp changes at its inner and outer edges. This profile is difficult to reconcile with local plasma entry by either direct influx or diffusion. (8) During the crossings which showed no boundary layer adjacent to the magnetopause, magnetosheath-like plasma was encountered sometime later. Possible explanations include the sudden formation of a boundary layer at this location right at the time of the encounter, and a crossing of an inclusion of magnetosheath plasma within the magnetosphere. (9) The flow in the LLBL is highly variable, observed directions include flow towards and away from the subsolar point, along the geomagnetic field and across it, tangential and normal to the magnetopause. Some of these features clearly are nonstationary. The scale size over which the flow directions change exceeds the separation distance (several hundred km) of the two spacecraft. 相似文献

We present a study of wave particle interaction in the vicinity of interplanetary shocks in the ecliptic plane, as observed by the Ulysses spacecraft. We focus here on some events, for which electromagnetic waves are observed, mainly down-stream of the shock. The whistler mode waves are studied by means of the Unified RAdio and Plasma wave experiment (URAP) and the electron distribution functions are obtained from the Ulysses' plasma experiment (SWOOPS). The results are discussed in the light of electron-cyclotron instabilities. 相似文献

at the shock usually are found to be similar to one another and also to the profile of the magnetic field magnitude. The time scale of electron thermalization varies from about 0.5 s to greater than 1 min, depending importantly on the shock motion and the orientation of the magnetic field. Typical thermalization times from 05:00–12:00 LT are 10 s, considerably shorter than proton thermalization times at the shock. This time scale corresponds to a distance of 100 km, comparable to but somewhat larger than the typical ion inertial length. The electron thermalization times are significantly longer than some of the values frequently cited in the past. At the end of the electron thermalization there typically is an overshoot in electron thermal pressure followed by an undershoot which give the pressure profile of the shock the appearance of a damped wave. Ion thermalization is essentially completed by the time the electron pressure wave is damped. The most probable value of the electron temperature ratio across the shock is 1.7, and this value is relatively independent of the Sun-Earth-satellite angle,
